he talked consistently and specifically about al qaeda, al qaeda, al qaeda. not that this is tactic that we used but that the united states reserves specific tactics against al qaeda in a way that represents a real focus. is that different than the bush administration? >> i think what is interesting is the frame you had of president bush is he didn't spend much time speaking about him? his deputy national security advisor, his now security advisor and his adviser, part of that every day meeting is focused on very laser like focus on where are we at in rolling up the al qaeda network? where are we at at the counter terrorism challenges? it's a remarkable focus of the president of the united states on a daily basis that most americans don't know about, hasn't been much written about. it's been part of the real big sea change from the bush administration. one of real problems we've had with al qaeda is it metastasized around the world. more than allowing him to escape, let all the trails go dry. i remember talking to senior cia who often asked me the question do

they did not know he was al qaeda. once they learn thread, our country learned, basically, that who done it. right? which terrorist group attacked us. that fbi interrogation was successful. it produced real information that u.s. needed and was able to act on. but then something changed. abu zubaydah was interrogated by suffant. contractors were sent in. they stripped him naked. blasted music in his cell. went ton to water board him. they were part after new cia torture program. they were sent to torture the prisoner even though he had already been talking without tore touring him. people make the case that rashalal for torturing people is that there is no time to waste. a time bomb is ticking somewhere. but the cia contractors who came in and took over for sufant and his partner seemed to have plenty of time for this guy. first stage was they put him in solitary confinement without human contact for 47 days before ever asking him a question. after 47 days of zero human contact they went into torture including water boa

frequented by al qaeda leaders or at least an al qaeda leader. there's one other element of near certainty standard that a lied to the first operation. the one that resulted in the death of ahmed farouq. that is that there were hundreds of hours of surveillance against that particular al qaeda compound. this surveillance included near continuous surveillance many thein the days leading up to the operation. that led to the near certain assessment that it was an al qaeda compound frequented by an al qaeda leader and did not include or that civilians would not be included in the operation. only the latter assessment was incorrect. >> you know these strikes took place in january. you said the u.s. recently confirmed what happened and that these individuals had died. can you tell us when exactly was that? are we talking days weeks, months ago? how long did you wait after coming to conclusions before informing the families of the hostages? >> josh, this is a good question. let me explain how this process works. when a counter terrorism operation is car
